In a move to make his partner, Renato (Tognazzi), jealous, the flamboyantAlbin (Serrault) waits in a local café - dressed as a womanhoping to be picked up. But Albin gets more than he bargains for when the fly he catches in his web is actually a spy who uses him as an unwitting courier of secret microfilm! Now on the run from ruthless agents, Albin and Renato flee toItaly where they attempt to hide out on a farm with Albin posing as Renato's wife! Can Albin escapethe deadly pursuit of these relentless spies or does he have to sustain this charadeas a woman forever?

4.0 out of 5 stars A great sequel July 5, 2004

By Mark Twain

Format:DVD

La Cage Aux Folles II is a terrific sequel, a rare treat that closely duplicates the charm of the original, while being a completely different film. This time around, the couple unwillingly get involved in a spy ring, with murder, mayhem, and one funne chase after another ensuing.

The casting is pricless, with Michel Serrault even funnier as Albin, the main attraction of the elegant cabaret, "La Cage Aux Folles." Ugo Tognazzi is also terrific as his partner Renato, and their comic misadventures are a pure joy to watch. This is 100 minutes of pure escapism; hilarious, entertaining, and touching. While the escapades are taken to the extreme, these are real people with real emotions, which makes them all the better to watch. Any gay man can relate to Albin's feelings of being unloved and unaccepted and Renato trying to be the macho man in a homophobic society.

The film is entertaining from start to finish, a wonderful way to spend an evening. Make some popcorn and enjoy!

La Cage II has always been my favourite of all the La Cage movies (there are 3 total). I am happy to see it in DVD format and happy too, that the audio is better than La Cage I.

I highly recommend you see this movie. It is quite good! There are plenty of action scenes throughout the comedy that will make you truly laugh. From Nice, France to Italy go Renato and Albin hiding from international spys....

5.0 out of 5 stars I enjoy so much. August 29, 2001

By Masafumi Yamamoto

Format:VHS Tape

If you liked "La cage aux folles" number one you will love this second story.Zaza Napoli(Michel Serrault) is very funny and touching as always.
There is:"Renatoooooooo!" which made this move famous.
You mix up spy stories, murders ,runing away,cops ,bad guys and the irresistibly funny couple Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) / Zaza Napoli and you have an very funny and adorable movie.
If you want to laugh with your family don`t hesitate ,buy this movie

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT MOVIE February 13, 2007

By Victor Costa

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

before the movie "bird cage" this movie predates it by about 20 years.

Sadly the American public would not have allowed such a movie back in the 1970's, ITs a pleasure to see how very simlar these two movies are to one another. THIS movie really makes one laugh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure joy! February 19, 2002

By Daniel D. Murray

This is my therapy film (along with the first "La Cage aux Folles). When life gets a little too dark...I reach for this.

The lead actors are masters, and the supporting cast is incredible as well.

Oh...and...a nicely chilled bottle of champagne goes well with this too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Flawed, but lots of laughs. April 15, 2013

Not as perfect as the original La Cage aux Folles, but at times even funnier. Having Zaza go into hiding and live as a peasant woman was a clever and hilarious idea.
